Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Human Ecology: Human Nutrition.
Postprandial hyperglycemia (PPH) induces vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) by increasing oxidative stress. Green tea lowers cardiovascular disease risk, possibly through its catechins that reduce oxidative stress and/or PPH consistent with a lowering of alpha-amylase activity in vitro. We hypothesized that a green tea-containing starch confection would protect against VED by suppressing PPH-mediated oxidative stress that lowers nitric oxide bioavailability. In a double-blind, randomized, cross-over study, healthy men (n=15) ingested a starch-based confection (50 g starch) containing 0 or 1 g of decaffeinated green tea extract (GTE) prior to evaluating brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), plasma glucose, and markers of nitric oxide status and lipid peroxidation at 30 min intervals for 3 h.
